AbstractThomas Dent Mütter, a Philadelphia plastic surgeon in the 1840s, boldly championed anesthesia when few physicians were convinced of its virtues. He was an early advocate of handwashing and hygienic wound care and helped pioneer the concept of postoperative recovery units. A leader in education, Mütter used a highly interactive style of teaching and restructured medical school classes to raise the caliber of clinical training. He supplemented his lectures with a myriad of specimens that he amassed over 24 yr. In 1863, this vast collection would serve as the basis for the Mütter Museum, which remains active today. Mütter exemplified expertise by tirelessly pursuing new knowledge and methods for the benefit of his patients and students.Copyright © 2022, the American Society of Anesthesiologists.
